Hi guys i need some advice from you guys since im not good in speakers ,

i just bought my Edifier C3 today and i was not happy with the bass.

sound card solve this problem right ?

but what sound card is bang for the buck with my C3 speaker ?

pls help me guys

A dude with the same problems just asked this. Read this thread first; if you haven't that is..

hey bro i just read abt it . i donno what to do now i just bought it . argh !

tried this already?

Another unsatisfying C3 user, mainly the subwoofer is the culprit. I think Edifier need to tweak this model a little bit or completely removed in from their catalog. Because the subwoofer is a little bit deceiving. It have the size and look, but it doesn't pack enough power for that.

yea already. seems the bass not strong enough even though i tweak using foobar.

yea i just bought it today ! and i feel not satisfied. i think im going to change to S330 . i do not want to set the treble and bass everytime i switch on the PC ! argh

also it has EIDC which means if i have a soundcard it wont fully optimize it right ?

blame the amp

What sound card you use? Sometime sound card will affect the bass quality too.
Please connect to MP3 player to check whether the bass got any improvement, if yes mean your sound card produce weak bass.

it's crazy listening to kids spending 500-700 on soundcards for their crappy RM500 speaker system, when they can get a proper full set HT system like onkyo for RM1200-1400, and just use HDMI out to stream their audio, and HDMI-DVI cable back to the LCD monitor.

well for me pc speaker and ht system were in different categories.

Sometimes I agree with you, many kids talking about crazy opinions.
Well we do know that Onkyo HT amplifier is a better way to enjoy good HT but the amplifier alone cost a bomb to kids not to mention that how much the passive speaker will cost.
Furthermore, its more on a 2.1 speaker and that "kid" is talking about how to enjoy music in stereo way, not Onkyo.
Lastly, a good sound card can blow Onkyo internal DAC out of the way, I don't know whether this is a proper way to explain to TS

im using onboard but i did test it with my ipod and its still not strong enough. previously i was using a harman kardon HK395 which lasted me 8-10 yrs . haha. im getting a refund from the shop this wednesday.

haha coz the C3 wasnt strong as my old HK395 thats why. but since im going to give back to the shop. will hunt for other types of speakers .

yea true sifu ! haha

haha. im noob to speakers coz my old speakers is dying so im found C3 but found out it didnt satisfy me, so im giving back this wed and then im going to search for speakers

The best speaker for RM500 will be the Altec Lansing MX5021

God bless this speaker.

If u can find one nowdays, u found a diamond.

Well, you have to admit one thing, the woofer may not be that strong, but the sound quality are really amazing .

You should have tested before you get it..

anyway, for me to really feel the bass, i put my woofer right under my bed and my computer table is beside my bed. When you crank it up you can really feel the bass. Positioning does helps a lot too . Last time i put it at my table and on the floor near me, bass like no effect..under the bed at least can feel it now

i wasnt satisfied with it coz my HK395 overall is better than the c3. especially the bass.

anyways guys. thread closed, i already send my C3 for a full refund
